Oh no you didn't+I'm gonna shoot you

Exercise:Moving several hundred pounds of wood back and forth
Voice:Not much.
Participation:N.A, as of yet.
Description(if above 89):N/A, as of yet.

So I ended up watching two completely different shows this evening.

One: Numbers. It's a sometimes creepy, other times subtly hilarious, mystery show. Just my type, because it has a fantastic mix of action, and nerding out. I mean really, one of the main characters is a college math professor. A brilliant one. It's awesome.

The other, Jon Stewart. I have nothing to say here. Other than it's hilarious to watch him crack himself up. Completely hilarious.

Okay, that stuff up there is what I'll be starting to post once school starts, as part of my grade. I'm just getting used to the HTML being there. It's actually really neat. In order to not use paper, my theatre teacher is having everyone blog their journals. Hence, what I've been doing for the past month, in order to get into the swing of things. Ain't it neat?

Widely considered pornography, by a certain definition. Yet I'm thinking I want some. After all, this is my one-months point. Approximately. I think. SO yes. I'm fairly regular. Sure, this is a school thing, but maybe I should come up with at least a banner, or something. I dunno. Maybe commission something. Blegh. Too much thought. Not enough active brain power.

Boop-beepidy-boop

Okay, my grandpa did some extremely early computer work, and I'm just thinking: How many things simply would not have happened if not for the creation of the computer?

For one thing, I couldn't do this. Blogging. But that's obvious. But how many people would be totally unaware of any live theatre going on around them? Some people only do things if they know about them in advance...I dunno. It's just a weird thought. Just how much computers really matter.

Well, I figured out how to throat sing today. I'm not entirely certain how, though.
I was just sorta perusin' through my falsetto while listening to my iTunes, and found a note that hit some overtones. So I used it, and it worked.

Throat singing is where you find a note that resonates in your head/throat/body particularly well. As a result, you get some pretty nifty whistle-like notes. The end effect is that you're singing two notes at once. By changing the shape of the air column in your throat, the overtone changes, without the base note changing. The people most known for throat singing are the Tibetans, I believe.

So I randomly figured out how to do this. And promptly remembered a little tidbit: Throat singers are somewhat famous for losing their voice by age 30. So I will be throat singing not-so-often. But It's cool to know how.

I found a coupla neato comdeians today. Ed Byrne and...Frankie Boyle, I think it was? Anyways, both very amusing people. Just finding it fascinating to see how Europeans joke about Americans! And how it's all true!

I went to the Grand Canyon, and the Aericans were just so *proud* of it! "Oh, look, I bet you don't have one o' those Ireland!" Well of course not, where would we put it!? Though really, I find the name misleading. You call something grand no matter what. You're having a completely awful day, and someone asks you how you're doing, and you say, "Oh, just grand." This hole was fuckin' brilliant! They should call it the Fuckin' Brilliant Canyon. Much more fitting.

This, of course, paraphrased from the original. I just find it hilarious, and I'm not entirely certain why. I also find it fascinating just to hear the different accents. That's how I should learn accents. Listen to the comedians. But I'd have to find ones who don't use accents as part of their act...
